What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Adverse Events

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: Up to approximately 4 years

  2. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: Up to approximately 4 years

  3. Number of Participants With a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) During Cycle 1

    A DLT was defined as an event considered to be related to study treatment and included: 1) Grade 4 neutropenia refractory to treatments persisting more than 5 days; 2) Grade 3 or more severe neutropenic fever; 3) Grade 3 thrombocytopenia requiring blood transfusions or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia; 4) Grade 4 hemoglobin decrease; 5) Grade 3 or more severe non-hematological toxicities other than anorexia, nausea/vomiting, and fatigue. (For the diarrhea, it was defined as not to use the frequency for the grading. For the alanine aminotransferase [ALT]/aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), it was defined as the case of over 300 IU/L; 6) Grade 3 or more severe anorexia, nausea/vomiting, and fatigue refractory to treatments; and 7) compliance of the study drug, while administrating 14 consecutive days, was less than 50% due to the drug-related adverse experience.

    Measured: Up to 26 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing vorinostat in people with Tumors, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 May 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Adverse Events (time frame: Up to approximately 4 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00127127, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Sep 2022.
